We are pleased to announce the forthcoming attraction of a mini contest based on the upcoming events in Germany. A short set of puzzles has been written by Claire (username Hall) with a football theme (that's soccer for the uninitiated ). We should be launching this sometime next week. Get your boots ready!

Oh Footie. Now I know what you're talking about. That's the game when half (the male half) try to guess how long it takes for a broken foot to mend, or am I confussing it with the game where you bounce a ball between a rail and a parrallel line and try to guess which side the ball lands. It must be a complicated game, one has been ongoing for the past 40 years, I heard.

Well yes complicated it appears to be (although we both know it is completely straigtforward). Men (who else) wrote the rules and included the infamous off-side rule so that women wouldn't understand the game and they could feel all superior. The big drawback with that is that having written the rule they no longer understand it themselves so spend all their time trying to explain their way round it
